I don't understand why anyone would feel the need to pay that much for a coffee. Stop paying that price and the price will come down quickly.

I have one account with 1 tag in Sydney and one in Brisbane. The one in Sydney hardly gets used and only used the one in Brisbane twice. The tag does not appear to work as I get charged the search fee each time but I think it's more than 55c for the search fee which in itself is ridiculous...

So fight it. Don't give in. It's not convenience. It's laziness. Don't shop from your living room. Get out there, interact just like we used to in the good old days. I think it will sink in when the changes come. Told when to shop. Told where to shop. Told what to buy. Lockdowns are going to be...

I didn't think it was that simple. This is family pooling which gets punished with the new changes.

This is why need to make anything online difficult. So you suffer but you'll be protected. I'm still struggling to understand how anyone is able to port a telephone number when it's not them. Sorry sir, you've lost lost your phone? Please go into any store with photo id and proof it's your...

I think there are many examples out there and possibly inside jobs. How can someone take port my number without my permission. It can be difficult for me to do it when I change from Optus to Circle and back to Optus or from Belong to Amaysim to Woolworths. How do these hackers do it and how are...

I've done that more times than I care to remember for 10 years. Much easier to get 302 then 445 to Toowong otherwise I'd have to get Alpha shuttle to airport.

Yes many ways without getting out sledge hammer. Gold 600SCs to attain and 450SCs to retain or even 650SCs to attain and 500SCs to retain. Platinum 1100SCs to attain and 900SCs to retain. Stop silly, gimmicky, double SCs and triple SCs promotions.

Too much to carry on Airtrain. Plus girls are now used to having our car waiting for us when we come back. Makes a huge difference. I think easiest for me is take car to Alpha on Christmas Eve afternoon and come back to Toowong with train then head back out to airport with UberXL Christmas morning.

My wife and 8 year old daughter are not letting me leave the car in our Toowong garage while we are away. LOL. We will have 3 suitcases, frozen carry on, 2 backpacks, handbag and a mobility walker so that rules out train. I checked 4:00am this morning and UberXL was $55 which is good. What's...

I think I've mentioned my dilemma in another thread. We are away for 31 days beginning Christmas Day. I want car undercover not in an open air carpark. Andrews is $400. That's steep. Alpha is closed Christmas Day. If I take car in previous afternoon cost for 32 days, undercover, is $220-$240...

These sweet spots just like Qantas Any Seat awards 10-12 years ago are the cause of the problem that Virgin is now trying to fix. I recently booked OOL-SYD return for 3 of us for $750 earning 90 SCs which is only marginally more than the one you mention above. I'm not even going to try and work...

Both Woolworths and Coles are taking a long time to adjust to the fact that we are spending less. With Coles we've almost stopped spending there. Wife no recent offers and for me they still send high spend offers for the account. A few weeks had spend $80 for 2000 bonus points but I...

So stop all these silly double SCs and triple SCs promotions that gift status and not make wholesale changes to your frequent flyer program.

Surely someone at Velocity thought that revenue based SCs would be difficult for someone to manage? They obviously don't care whether you strive for status or not or that you don't care how much you spend? If you have plan x number of trips and then you find some cheaper airfares and you end...

Not going back to Qantas. Lifetime Gold already and not chasing status on ridiculously expensive airfares. May go to BFOD and some JQ flights OOL-SYD can be cheap. If not I'll continue with Virgin flights as they are next cheapest. I think we have status for another 2 years. Wife will be...

A convicted drug smuggler making money off interviews? How wonderful. P.S. I've never heard of this story. Today was first time if I'm not mistaken. Spent 1 minute on quick Google search to see headlines. Have zero interest in what she has to say. Why people waste their time to glorify her is...

This happened to us on JQ once or twice when daughter was younger but luckily they were able to fix at check-in. Why exactly? If I'm travelling with wife and daughter on same booking then I'd expect we are seated together and not separated. (If on separate booking then I pay to pre-allocate...

This is one not many talk about. I don't think it matters what Virgin does. There's still realistically only a choice between Virgin and Qantas and if people are running back to Qantas after this Virgin enhancement then clearly they have short memories. I'm still going drive from Toowong at...

I've been recently planning how I can earn Platinum status every 2 years and my wife also earn Platinum status every 2 years. Scrap that plan. I have not done all the calculations but we are now likely to struggle for 1 of us to earn Gold. I may be able to earn half the VA SCs but wife won't...
